Here's a poison I dug a while back on a 20s or 30s site, it has a screw top but I like the shape anyway so I kept it. I recently started wondering if it could be any good, it's the only one I have seen but that could be because I rarely dig 20s dumps.

That's a KU-14. They are listed as $50-75 . So, yeah, I'd call it a good one. It apparently was an antiseptic from Henry K. Wampole, Philadelphia. There's a varient that's not embossed, too. Nice dig.

The caps were made of zinc and are usually corroded or missing.  Ours doesn't have one either.  The unembossed one is rare. I have never seen one for sale, but have heard of them spotted at one show long ago.  It's a cool designed bottle, for sure.  It's the only American star shaped bottle that I know of.

Thanks for the Information, it's nice to know that a bottle I only kept for fun has value, I think that it's the only thing I kept from the whole dump which I dug off and on for a year and a half. there were not too many whole bottles in there, just lots of great broken bits that kept me going back.
